Hawg Wild BBQ & Catfish House

Hushpuppies, Cornbread Muffin,
& Texas Toast

Out of the three, the hushpuppies were the clear winner. They were nicely seasoned and dotted with chives. We devoured each and every one in our basket. And, we were generously offered more.

Smoked Brisket Jalapeño Poppers

With Ancho Blueberry Sauce

Stuffed with generous quantities of brisket and cheese, six of these were an incredibly hearty starter. The smoky ancho blueberry sauce was quite tasty. But, the poppers had plenty of flavor and they needed no embellishing. We made better use of the blueberry sauce on our corn muffins. Still warm, we brushed our cornbread muffins lightly with a touch of soft butter and a swipe of the blueberry sauce. We could have happily made a meal out of the corn muffins alone.

Whole Fried Catfish

These two whole catfish were fried gorgeously on the outside while the inside remained moist and tender.

The sweet potato fries were clearly straight out of the fryer and served piping hot. And, we found the mac and cheese to be surprisingly good. Now at this point in our busy day, we were ravenous. So, we may have been an easy audience. But, this was the best meal that we were fortunate enough to eat on our North Georgia fall colors road trip weekend.

Hawg Wild offers the whole catfish plate for $12.99 for one plate or $18.49 for an all you can eat version of the meal. All you can eat? Seriously? Who can eat more than two whole catfish in one sitting?
